Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

At around 6 o'clock in the morning, the three children started exercising in the yard. The fourth uncle also joined in today and followed suit.

Other elders also got up one after another, some making breakfast, some cleaning the backyard, some watering the vegetables, and some chopping wood, each doing their own job.

At the dinner table, grandma asked Uncle Si: "Si Er, when will you return to the academy?"

"I can stay at home for three more days, and I will go back on the fourth day."

Bi Yue thought: In ancient times, summer harvest was a big event. Schools were closed for half a month. Among the four major classes of people, agriculture, artisans and merchants, agriculture was ranked second. The country still attached great importance to farming.

When they were almost done eating, Bi Yue walked over to Fourth Uncle, whispered something in his ear and left. Everyone didn't mind and continued eating peacefully.

Bi Yue returned to her room and placed an order on the system for "Tang Poems", "Song Lyrics", calligraphy works of famous calligraphers of all dynasties, all in thread-bound volumes, "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Law", "Mathematics", as well as the test papers of the top three scholars in the past five years, etc.

Put it on the desk and wait for Fourth Uncle to come and get it.

Fourth Uncle was wearing a short shirt today. The seventeen-year-old boy was like the rising sun, with an upright figure, the vitality of a young man, and the temperament of a scholar.

Maybe it was because he had just finished a meal, the sweat had not stopped yet. He walked into his niece's room with a smile on his face. The coolness reduced the heat in his body by three points.

Fourth Uncle found a high chair and sat down, then took out his sweat towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck.

Bi Yue stood up and walked to the table, pointing at a pile of books and said to Fourth Uncle:

"These books are for you. They can help you pass the exam and are prepared for you. Take them all if you like them. If you need any study materials later, tell me when you come back from vacation and I'll give them to you."

After saying that, he went to the rectangular table beside the bed and placed an order for pens, ink, paper and inkstone, three sets in total.

Fourth Uncle walked to the table, looked at so many books, and shed tears of joy. The one who understood him best was his 5-year-old niece, who helped him, supported him, and comforted him. How could he not be moved again and again? He couldn't help sobbing.

Bi Yue came over and pulled on the corner of Fourth Uncle's clothes, and comforted him softly: "Everything will be fine."

"Well, thank you Yue'er."

I started flipping through the titles of the book, and when I saw the examination papers of the top three candidates in the past five years at the bottom of the book, I was even more shocked and asked hurriedly:

"You can get this too? This is sealed in the government office. Oh! You are the one appointed by the immortal, you must have some magical powers. I am so stupid."

"These books are exactly what I want. I wanted to buy them, but I was short of money, so I could only go to the academy's library to look at them. Now I can read them whenever I want. I am really happy."

Biyue called her fourth uncle over again, pointing at nine pens, a thick stack of white paper, three inkstones, and six ink sticks.

"I bought three sets. You pick one first. I'll give one to my eldest brother later, and put the rest in the locker. My third brother wants to practice calligraphy, so I'll give him one."

"Just study hard at school and copy less books. I'll give you other study materials and supplies when you get home."

"Your current goal is to take the exam next year. Don't worry about anything else. I hope you can pass it step by step. Your niece will depend on you in the future."

"Okay, I will study hard and live up to Yue'er's expectations."

"Don't worry about the money. If it's not enough, let grandma give you some. It's only been more than half a year. Every time you go to school, I'll give you a bamboo cup of spiritual spring water. I used to secretly fill it with primary spiritual spring water, which was finished in less than ten days."

"Before you leave this time, I'll pack you an intermediate-level bottle. Take it back to the academy, and then take a cup. Pour out two spoonfuls of spiritual spring water and mix it with ordinary water. You can drink it for ten days."

"I've got it. I'll keep the spiritual spring water safe."

"How many people live in your schoolhouse room? What are their personalities like?"

"There are four beds in the room. One of the beds is unoccupied right now. There are three people living in it now. They are all from the same class. They are pretty good people, right?"

"Where do you keep your valuables? Will someone steal them?"

"No, students cannot do this. If anyone finds out, they will be expelled from school."

"That's good. Are you going to take all these books to the academy? I'll give you another suitcase."

"Bring a few books with you, but don't bring the test papers, leave them at home."

So I ordered a suitcase made of antique bamboo, put a lock on it, and gave it to my fourth uncle.

Fourth Uncle's eyes were red again, and he hugged his little niece tightly in his arms, not letting go for a long time.

Fourth Uncle is an emotional person, easily moved, and soft-hearted, which is actually a good thing.

Bi Yue asked Fourth Uncle to lower his head, took out two jade tokens from her bosom and placed them on his forehead. Then Fourth Uncle received elementary martial arts and elementary light skills, which surprised and delighted him. The surprises his little niece gave him today were one after another, which could not be expressed in words. How lucky and proud he was to be Yue'er's uncle in this life.

"Practice these first, and learn how to protect yourself. For you, scientific research requires a healthy body, so you can be prepared for any eventuality."

He took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to his uncle. He opened the stopper and poured out a grain as big as a mung bean.

Fourth uncle looked at his little niece in confusion, his eyes asking what this was.

"This is an ordinary pill, there are 10 of them. If you encounter a teacher or a noble who needs help, you can mix the spiritual spring water with ordinary water, add this pill, and let the critically ill patient take it. You can save the other person's life, and the other person will owe you a favor, and you can get a lot of help in the future. Drinking only the spiritual spring water will make people suspicious, and they don't want you to be in trouble with the treasure. This is a win-win situation."

"Yes, that's right."

"Why am I telling you this? Because we are ordinary farmers, without roots, status, or support. If our family is wronged and bullied by the rich and powerful, anyone with power can step on us. We will have no place to complain, and we will suffer physically and mentally, or even our family will be destroyed."

"You need connections and help. You need to make friends with powerful people to go further. You don't need to make friends blindly, but look for opportunities. I know a little about Third Aunt's affairs, so I'll let you do this."

The fourth uncle was in turmoil, and he admired the little girl so much for her meticulousness and thoughtful ideas.

Having said that, Fourth Uncle put the books in a box and went to his room next door.
